Tonight I listened to a guy speak on Psalm 90...he mentioned something while he was speaking and it really hit me. It wasn't so much the point of the message; but I guess I had just never thought of it before.
When the Israelites were in the desert...travelling towards the promised land...God gave them manna (food from Heaven). They would gather it every morning. Tonight the speaker mentioned that God only gave them enough manna for that. particular. day. The only time He gave them more was the day before the Sabbath - when there was enough for two days. I have heard this before. I knew it. It just never resounded in me like it did tonight.
GOD PROVIDES FOR US.
Financially, emotionally, physically....He gives us what we need. Not necessarily more than we need....but exactly what we need...right then. I struggle with tithing. It seems like I'm barely making it most of the time financially; but honestly....when I tithe - first - before I spend money on other things, God provides. He really really does. It's not dramatic...just a few dollars here and there but it works out. He takes care of me.
What does this mean? It's simple. We can trust God. In every situation He will provide. He's faithful. When God says something He doesn't just say it. He will take care of us. So for me...in my personal life...when I feel like I CANNOT possibly make it through another week of camp...when I feel like I'll never meet the perfect person to spend my life with and be my baby daddy (haha...sorry I just wanted to write that word on my blog:)...when I feel like I can't afford to buy the things I think I 'need'....God will provide. HE WILL PROVIDE. In His timing; not mine.
I can trust Him fully. He keeps His promises. He is always sufficient. Always. That's some good stuff.
